Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Showdown 58

[davesnothere]

84 points in Round 20, 2017.

Hinkley was extended for 3 more years just a few weeks after that game.

I don’t remember us winning by that much

We are not going to crucify Whitlock and Ramm against the Crows on a soaking wet Saturday night.

Think Berry is likely.

 

[PowerBaz]

Ahh the AFL.... I mean North v Geelong?

 

[PowerBaz]

Could be a cracker to be honest.

Doesn't matter. It's all about honouring Ken Hinkley's legacy and all the success he's achieved. But no grand final appearances. All good though.

On the weekend, they did a pre game interview and Kennt was asked about his lolly gag and does he have anymore up his sleeve..to which he did a mic drop "KENNY OUT" exit with an awkward spell casting gesture.

Much to the chordle and delight of the commentary team.

It was bizarre.

Neither game will be shown on national FTA, been that way since this season

watch dylwil get dropped because he didnt kick 8 goals in 34% gametime

I mean, he did only have one ineffective kick in 34% game time and literally no other stats so you could understand if he was cut

I have not watch the game but 3 pressure acts in that time as well. Who was he on?

I don’t mind if he stays in. We know he can do better.

He’s had a decent chance on the list though.

Hawthorn in Tasmania into a Showdown into Geelong in Geelong.

Yeah the AFL didn't want us getting anywhere this year.

And thats on top of Ballarat into a Showdown into Geelong at home.

Showdowns used to the biggest week in football for me outside of playing finals. Now I just don't give a sh!t.

Hinkley's win/loss against the Crows is 11/13 or 45.85%. Given the Crows have been complete poo for most of those Showdowns that is even worse than it looks. The only club he has a worse winning ratio against is Geelong.

I'm hoping the Crows set a new Showdown winning margin record and the Crows supporters give Kenny Hinkley a standing ovation as he walks across the oval post game.

Genuinely, how are these stats not up in lights on every footy program this week highlighting his ineptitude in big games?

They are damning numbers
When you consider the crows have played finals three times in his 12 completed seasons as Senior Coach.

We just got done having a Twenty20 cricket singalong at the Gabba as well.

 

[Lefti93]

C'mon, do a round 21 2006 or something FFS.

 

[Anyonebutken]

Who is the crows star who might miss this week with injury? Have crows mate saying it's Fogarty I'm sure if Fog doesn't play whoever replaces him we will make them look like peak Wayne Carey.

Stinkers throwing a few more to the wolves with one foot out the door

What an outstanding human

Yeah it's malpractice

The jockey Mick Dittman was known as "The Enforcer" for his overzealous use of the whip on horses.

Ken Hinkley is the AFL coaching equivalent.

He slaughters footballers.

 

[JimmyBC]

What on earth is the point of playing a guy that needs surgery in a write-off season.

 

[Waspy79]

What is X reporting? I am guessing Aliir will play despite being lame.

 

[Alberton Proud]

While Bergman's thrashing his shoulder old mate is flashing lolly smiles and gobbling cheese toasties

Thanks Daddy

 

[JimmyBC]

He'd pick Aliir even if his leg was in plaster.

 

[afl2004]

Ruining 2026 to protect the donut king

 

[Waspy79]

Seems like Bergman playing injured. Utterly pointless.

 

[Del80659]

poor Aliir
